A review by emiranjani
Spaces of Global Capitalism: A Theory of Uneven Geographical Development by David Harvey
Did not finish book.
3.0
Currently have read about half of the book and thinking of stopping; here's why.
While Harvey delivers an incredibly interesting discussion and analysis of neoliberalism in the contemporary world and its detrimental effects on geographical developments, the style of writing makes it rather difficult to understand. The use of straightforward terms was great, though it is the assembling of words and sentences that I find particularly complex. I must say, however, that as the English language is not my first language, there may be a certain degree of limitation within the linguistic framework in which my opinion is derived. Though as I find it, many people are also struggling with understanding the points Harvey is trying to deliver, which validates my review.
Regardless, I still recommend the book for anyone who is interested as the given analysis of neoliberalist capitalism and uneven geographical development are interesting and equally insightful.
